Irish Setters were a love of Susan's from early in life. At age 14 she read a classified ad in Dog World magazine telling of an Irish Setter kennel just two miles from her home in Florida. Susan offered to come and do kennel work for free in order to be close to the Setters. Christmas time brought the gift of her own Irish Setter puppy from those kennel owners. The next 10 years of Susan's life were dedicated to the Irish Setter breed alone. Serandida Kennels was born during this period. Handling became a natural progression for Susan in the ensuing years along with breeding. Susan transitioned to Ibizan Hounds and the rest has been an incredible series of events changing the direction of the Ibizan Hound breed forever.
